i can hear her
i can hear the pain in her voice as it rings around the house
i can feel the scars on my flesh as if i've been affected
i see the gloominess in her eyes as tears began to flow
but i cant speak
i cant move
i cant breathe
my heart once beating at a normal pace has accelerated to ungodly speeds
my palms once dry and rough have becoming trickled in sweat and nerves
my stomach once growling with discomfort has grown to tossing and turning in silence
i'm scared
i'm fearful of her reaction if i speak
although the sounds of her cries are painful i can't bring myself to interrupt
maybe i'm not strong enough for this
maybe i'm not strong enough to face my troubles
i'm not brave enough to stop things from escalating any further
i'm scared
i'm fearful
i'm lost for words
i'm confused
i'm her
